From Austin to Las Vegas

Leaving Austin, Texas

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport works with 10 major commercial airlines, including American, AirTran and Delta. The airport is just 5 miles from the city's downtown area and is accessible by bus, shuttle and car. Taxi rides from downtown cost an average of $12.85 and can accommodate up to four passengers.

Garage parking is available for $22 per day. Economy lots run $7 to $11 per day depending on distance from the terminal. Valet is also available for a daily charge of $26. Valet customers simply drop their cars off at the upper terminal curb in the marked area.

There are 12 restaurants and five bars or lounges within Austin-Bergstrom International. These range between budget options-like the Austin Java Coffee House-to traditional sit-down dining. Counter service dining is also available with selections like Wok & Roll. With plenty of local establishments to choose from, you can catch a bite at your favorite Austin restaurant in the airport before your big flight.

Flying to Las Vegas

Whether you're headed to the high roller tables or planning to ramble down the Strip, flying into Las Vegas will leave you invigorated. You'll notice the bright lights of the city long before the runways at McCarran International Airport. While the North Las Vegas Airport also makes its home here, its traffic is limited to very small flights, and it rarely serves commercial carriers.

Las Vegas Bound

Car rental agencies are housed in a small complex 3 miles from the airport terminal. You'll need to take an airport shuttle to the area to pick up or secure a car. Thankfully, 11 company hubs can be found there, including Budget, Avis and Hertz. Using a site like Orbitz.com, you'll wind up with plenty of low-cost options. Travelers can also catch the city bus route that runs by the airport or pay a cab an average of $22 to $25 for a one-way trip downtown.

While Austin has a moist heat with summer temps in the 100s, Las Vegas travelers will enjoy a dry heat. The break in humidity leaves people free to enjoy the sun without sweating profusely. Winter temps stay in the 50s, and there is no fear of snow. In fact, rain isn't often seen in Vegas, with less than half an inch of rain falling in the wettest months of the year.

Gambling is king in Las Vegas, with casino hotels like the Mirage and Bellagio built as homage to the excess seen on their game floors every night. Slot machines can be found in most places, but the biggest hotels draw in tremendous crowds for poker, blackjack and other table games. High stakes rooms and tables are a common attraction among visitors who can only dream about playing for pots topping $1 million.

The entertainment and dining found in Vegas is also over the top and second to none. Full circuses, magic shows and musicals from Broadway line stages alongside world-famous singers and comedians. Dingy all-you-can-eat buffets get famous and draw in big names. You never know who you'll see-or where you'll see them-on a Las Vegas vacation.
